“Could it be that the higher one’s master stands, the rope tying one to slavery is lengthened by the same amount? In that case, if we jump and frolic in a much wider domain, we die without ever discovering its boundaries.”

“Because you constantly seek to satisfy your ego's every wish, you live in constant anticipation.
Because you seek to wipe away its sorrows, you seek desperately for its happiness.
Because you seek to maintain its reputation, you are acutely sensitive to the sharp opinions of others.
Everything that you do is done in the interest of its welfare.
It has made you a slave.
Even the need for happiness is a great burden.
You would not have this need if you had no manufactured self.”
― Atmamun: The Path To Achieving The Bliss Of The Himalayan Swamis. And The Freedom Of A Living God.
